Arrival

An elderly man dressed in a crimson robe stood respectfully behind an elderly man with a full head of red hair, dressed in simple linen clothes, reporting the situation, while holding a scroll in his hand.

The old man's face was always full of smiles, but these smiles seemed genuine, not the kind of smile that belies a wolf in sheep's clothing.

"Valley Master, that's how it is. I dare not conceal anything."

The old man in the crimson robe was Chi Huo Elder, who had returned from Tian Huang City, and the person he respectfully addressed as Valley Master was none other than Tang Zhen, the Current Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley.

Tang Zhen took the scroll from Chi Huo Elder Chi Huo Elder said to him:

"Well, although your actions this time were rash, you ultimately resolved the problem, so your merits and demerits cancel each other out. I won't punish you. From now on, you don't need to concern yourself with the affairs of Tian Huang City. If there's nothing else, you may leave."

The intelligence reported by Chi Huo naturally revealed the relationship between Xiao Tian and Liu Qing. He also roughly guessed the other party's thoughts. In that case, he might as well do a favor. It was just a medium-sized city, nothing to worry about.

Chi Huo Elder breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Tang Zhen's words, "Yes, Valley Master, then this subordinate will take his leave."

Chi Huo Elder bowed respectfully and then hurriedly left.

After Chi Huo Elder left, Tang Zhen opened the scroll and looked at the man and woman depicted on it.

His attention was focused on the woman; he had already made a guess after hearing Chi Huo Elder report her name.

Now, seeing this painting, even though the person is veiled, Tang Zhen still recognized their identity based on his past impressions.

As the person in charge of Burning Flame Valley, he had naturally met the Pill Tower's Three Giants Xuan Yi, but he had only met Xuan Yi two or three times.

But through his appearance and the look in his eyes, he had already determined the other person's identity.

"I never expected that the dignified President Xuan Yi would appear in Tian Huang City. According to Chi Huo, all of this was connected by the man beside him, and the two seem to have a very close relationship, even with two little girls by his side."

Tang Zhen squinted and murmured, then suddenly, as if he had discovered a great secret, his eyes widened:

"Could those two little girls be the children of President Xuan Yi and that man named Xiao Tian?"

This seems like a rather big question mark. Tang Zhen immediately cut off his thoughts. These things shouldn't be speculated on casually. If they were leaked and the truth came out, his Burning Flame Valley would be in big trouble. He couldn't afford to offend Alchemist.

Thinking of Xuan Yi's identity Alchemist, and then of his daughter's health problems, he sighed deeply.

If the other party were to intervene, they could easily resolve my current headache, but I also know I can't afford to ask them for help.

Even asking Seventh-Grade High-Grade or Eighth-Grade Elementary old fellow in the Pill Tower to help requires an extremely high reward.

Moreover, as one of the three guild leaders of the Pill Tower and a Eighth-Grade Peak Xuan Yi, Xuan Yi's reward is astronomical. Furthermore, even if you offer a reward for refining High-grade Seventh-rank Pill, whether others are willing to refine that level of pill is another matter entirely.

"Sigh... Time is running out." Tang Zhen sighed softly. He still hadn't gathered all the medicinal herbs he needed, mainly because they were too rare.

"Father, why are you sighing like this?" A slightly questioning female voice came from afar.

A woman dressed in red, with a dark red whip wrapped around her slender waist, and strikingly beautiful, with delicate eyebrows that hinted at a touch of heroism, appeared dashing and heroic in combination with her attire. She approached Tang Zhen with a mysterious gait.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about some things." Tang Zhen looked at the woman who had come to his side with a kind expression.

"Huo'er, what brings you here?"

He knew his daughter very well; she liked to supervise and spar with the other disciples whenever she had a spare moment.

The woman was Tang Zhen's only daughter, Tang Huo'er, the universally acknowledged Senior Disciple Sister of the Burning Flame Valley, and also the valley's famous "Fiery Pepper."

"Father, I've heard that something went wrong in Tian Huang City, and even a disciple died." Tang Huo'er looked intently at her father, a flash of fire in her eyes, and asked.

"Don't worry about this, it's already been taken care of," Tang Zhen said softly.

Hearing her father's words, Tang Huo'er immediately put her hands on her hips. "How can I not care? I'm their Senior Disciple Sister!"

After briefly recounting the actions and words of those people from the past, Tang Zhen looked at her and asked, "After hearing all this, do you still want to seek revenge?"

After hearing this, Tang Huo'er's face, which was already full of anger, remained angry, but the target of her anger had changed.

She couldn't help but grit her teeth, her fists clenched so tightly they cracked, her whole body trembling with rage, as she said, "Since there are still such scoundrels in the valley, it seems they've done quite a lot of things before. Good, very good!! It seems they've all been hiding it perfectly."

After saying that, she turned and left, forgetting even to say goodbye to her father, and walked down the mountain in a fit of anger.

Tang Zhen looked at his straightforward, emotionally expressive daughter, who wore her heart on her sleeve, and couldn't help but shake his head. But he didn't intend to change her; wasn't it his responsibility as a father to let her maintain this frankness?

Moreover, his daughter, though spoiled, was not unruly, and she was clear-headed about important matters; she wasn't the kind of brainless spoiled brat.

However, he was already silently mourning for the disciples in the valley. Huo'er was now a powder keg about to explode, and even he, as her father, had to temporarily avoid her.

Two days later.

A silver halo appeared in front of the four of them.

It was the exit of the Space Wormhole. Xiao Tian poured his Dou Qi into the energy source, and the Space Ship transformed into a silver streak. With a hiss, it rushed into the silver light circle and then disappeared.

On a stone platform a hundred meters high, space distorted, and four figures, two large and two small, slowly emerged from it.

It was Xiao Tian and the four people in Xuan Yi.

The Space Ship in Xuan Yi was a level eight vessel, faster and safer than others, so they arrived at the end of the Space Wormhole in just over two days.

Xiao Ling and her companion, held in Xuan Yi's arms, stared wide-eyed at their surroundings with curiosity. "Mother Xuan Yi, is this the Dan Domain?"

Xuan Yi's relationship with Xiao Tian is now completely open, and their feelings for each other have intensified dramatically during this time. Besides being completely honest with each other, they know every aspect of each other perfectly.
